HOOPLE is a portable collection of C++ source code, featuring thread-safe objects for collections and event processing, RPC-style plugin-based encrypted networking (CROMP / octopus), bookmark collection management utilities, and a lot of other cool stuff.

Most of the code from hoople1 has moved into the Feisty Meow® Concerns Ltd codebase, available at http://feistymeow.org for your enjoyment.
